Stop laughing at the back!
Seriously, though...my back, hip & knee are dramatically reducing my saddle time; even had to sell one bike because the (not very) sporting ride position meant that I could no longer even lift my right foot up on to the footrest.
Can still get on - and into a riding posture - with a few touring-style bikes, but my ability to easily and rapidly operate the footbrake is declining; the end is in sight.
So...a maxi scooter with a sit-up-and-beg and feet forward posture becomes ever more of a possibility. (I just don't fancy a cruiser, OK
) (Honda Majesty, Suzuki Bergman, Piggio X9 seem all to be possibles.)
So, a couple of questions for you people (and please no replies about alternative medicine, replacement hips or knee operations; I know all about that stuff and am taking appropriate orthodox medical advice):
-I'm guessin that it's unlikely, but does anyone on here ride a "super scoot" on a regular basis? If so which and what do you think of it? Would you recommend it to others?
-Just how different is the handling from a conventional motorcycle? Might I need re-training to keep up to an advanced standard...and, if so, does anyone actually specialise in that?
Thanks in advance for any info/advice/opinions; I would really value your imput.
